I'm all for segwit. But aren't miners necessary for bip148? Isn't hash power >0 necessary? If not, what does that say about incentives?

Not ALL miners are hostile. So long as 25+% stick with the community, we'll be fine.

Gotcha. I agree there. I'm not sure I agree that there was any negotiating with miners (who seem to have gotten none of what they asked for)

At the very least, they got a few Core devs spending many hours developing safe hardfork proposals. They're also getting bigger blocks w/ SW

Hard forks will be part of Bitcoin's future tho. Why was trivial block size bump to buy months of time to avoid soft fork delays avoided?

Hardforks are even easier to delay than softforks. UASF is far better and safer than a HF.

I hope we get segwit soon. Every group using maximal pressure will make Bitcoin better. Users + minority of miners trumps majority of miners

I like what that says about Bitcoin incentive structure.

is not terrorist. For sure short profits and completely dumbs but unfortunately a part of btc ecosystem.

Miners who produce invalid blocks are not part of the Bitcoin ecosystem. By maliciously blocking activation of Segwit, they ARE terrorists.

There has to be a simpler way to detect and alert when asic boost is in use for now. While we wait for a more formal approach.

It's called "covert" because you can't detect it (at least not in an automate-able fashon).

Bitmain's pools perform with in 1 percent of all other pools. Asicboost has obviously never been used. There is no proof that it even works.

miners are so lame, they want segwit and it's just a matter of time and are only looking for a way to save face and go on with the program.

Not miners... Bitmain.

Which client has implemented #BIP148?
